Title
Standard Test Method for Salts in Crude Oil (Electrometric Method)

ASTM International

Publication Date:
May 1, 2008

Scope:

This test method covers the determination of the approximate chloride (salts) concentration in crude oil. The range of concentration covered is 0 to 500 mg/kg or 0 to 150 lb/1000 bbl as chloride concentration/volume of crude oil.

This test method measures conductivity in the crude oil due to the presence of common chlorides, such as sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Other conductive materials may also be present in the crude oil. 

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 

Acceptable concentration units are g/m³ or PTB (lb/ 1000 bbl).

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific warning statements, see 7.3, 7.4, and 7.11.
